General Notes: Husband - Nathaniel Newlin

---

He emigrated from Ireland to America with his father in 1683.

He resided at Concord, Chester (later Delaware) County, Pennsylvania, and was quite a prominent person, both in the meetings of Friends and in the community at large. In 1698 he was elected to the Provincial Assembly as a representative from Chester County, and continued in that body at different times for several years. In 1700 he was one of the committee to consider and draw up a new frame of government and to revise the laws. He was subsequently appointed one of the proprietaries' commissioners of property, and a justice of the county courts. In 1722 he became one of the trustees of the general loan-office of the province, which position he continued to hold till the time of his death, when he was succeeded by Justice Richard Hayes.
He continued to reside in Concord as long as he lived, and owned a large amount of real estate there as well as elsewhere. A brick dwelling-house, which he erected at Concord in 1699, was standing until the late 1800s. In 1724 he became the owner of over 7000 acres in one tract, later known as Newlin township. It was in relation to the occupancy of this tract that he had the dispute with the Indians. [HCC 1881, 669]

He was called upon to take a prominent part in local and provincial affairs. He was elected to the Provincial assembly in 1701, 1705, 1710, 1713, 1714, 1717, 1718, 1719, 1721 and 1722, and was first commissioned as a justice of the peace and of the courts of Chester county, in 1703, and several times re-commissioned, the last commission of record being August 26, 1726, although he probably served until his death in 1729. He resided all his life in Concord township where his house, erected in 1699, was recently [1911] torn down. He purchased in 1724, 7700 acres of the trustees of the Free Society of traders, which was later laid out as Newlin township. He was also one of the trustees of the General Loan Office and filled numerous other positions of trust, being one of the commissioners selected in 1700 to draw up a plan for a new form of government for the Province of Pennsylvania.
